You can not get rid of your PMI's after your LTV is less than 80% and after 5 years into your loan as you could before. The only way is to drop 20% down and go with a conventional loan. If you have 20% and can qualify for a conventional, I'd go for it now.

I have noticed this with new homes. Was looking at a home in November for $150k and its now $190k for the same home. This is in mountains edge. However, existing homes are slow growing.

Im at the same of your age. I don't have a house but i have a Z. I am happy! :)

Sometimes it is good to just do things that makes you happy. There are apartments that have garage.:)

House = asset
Car = liability

We bought a house four years ago. The Z is two years old. It's a very simple answer :tup:

This is a very good opportunity to buy a home....

But that has to be your choice...

What part of Northern Cali are you in? Can't find many homes in this market and prices and rising quick.

But yeah, house first. :)

Responsible grown up = house

Which is why I personally would rent and get the Z :p

Sports cars are more fun than houses ... no one ever coined the phrase, "safe as sports cars".

NOTHING is better than having a house that's paid off!
Bought my house at 34, paid it off when I was 48 :happydance:

House without a doubt. As others said, you need a garage first.

Though warning for first time home owners, be prepared for move in expenses (furniture, appliances, decor, etc). And if you're moving into an older home, repair/replacement costs. My plan was to wait a year before getting a new car, but ended up being 3 years after having to replace the HVAC system and installing double pane windows, plus other unforeseen expenses. Even then, those upgrades are an investment in the house.

Still, part of me wishes I'd bought the Z sooner after finding out how much fun it is to drive :driving:

House you can't bang a chick in the Z comfortably.

But seriously this should be a common sense decision.

I would tend towards house...but it depends somewhat on where you live.

House. Pricing isn't going to get any lower than right now for the foreseeable future.
